Fashion Report: The Summer of Nostalgia

Many remain eager to see new trends hit the fashion industry. However, this summer is all about the classic fashion staples and a walk down memory lane. Vogue Magazine writer, Laura Weir, writes on the idea of returning to retro: “Judging by spring/summer 2015's nostalgic wander through the archives, fashion is primed to do a fierce trade in memories this season, right back to the Seventies."

The 70s was a time of lace, prints, chunky heels, and high-waisted bottoms. While the decade may have had its fair share of hits and misses, the industry has updated the styles while still preserving the retro essence.

The spring/summer 2015 show was inspired by the original icons of the era: Joni Mitchell, Cher, Donny and Marie Osmond and more.

The looks remained true to the decade: expressive and lively. In the 70s people wore jump suits, platforms, spaghetti straps and countless prints. “Polyester was the material of choice and bright colors were everywhere," says Paul Phipps from RetroWaste.

Redirecting to today's fashion, bits and pieces of the 70s culture has inspired every aspect of the summer look. From summer music festivals to beach vacations, the once deemed "hippie look" is here to stay.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
